Spring in Northern Michigan

Spring seemed to come when I came home...
-Grandma, always, sends Easter treats that she makes homemade for the holiday.
-Moon over Cheboygan.

-A beautiful cresent (waning).


-And a sign of spring...my first crocus bloom!

-A built up streambed that goes under US23.


-The big lakes were even thawing out. These are the pile ups (about 7-8 foot tall) on the shore by the bridge.

-And the boats were running...
-Then the true sign of spring...the last (maybe?) snowfall, over 1/2 foot, on Saturday morning.










-But those snows never last long. Sandy and I went for a walk in the high 40s (downright balmy...) and saw this immature bald eagle!










-Just on the other side was this guy...a bald eagle!

-And nice sunset scene at Gordon Turner park.
